Joseph's Review of Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Not a bad film at all, there were some very cheesy moments and the requisite plot holes, but I find this kind of topic fascinating and I felt the film was paced well and quite engaging. The scenes of revolution in Caesar's enclosure and the showdown on the bridge were particularly awesome.
